Bluebird

Bonnie Raitt · The Essentials [WEA International] [2005]

Listen to my blue bird laugh

She can tell you why

Deep within her heart you see

She knows only right, whoa, just light.



There she sits this lofty bird

The strangest color blue

Flying is forgotten now

She thinks only of you, woo, just you.



So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues

And each is differently used

You just know, you sit there mezmerized

By the depth of her eyes

And if you categorize she got soul

She got soul, she got soul.



Soon she's gon' to fly away

Her sadness is her own

Leave beside her bath of tears

She'll go home...
